more nuclear weapons and the defense hawks okay with the defense budget coming down and looking for savings. this is the critical time over this term of president obama, the next two to three years, we will make decisions on new contracts, whether we will replace the entire generation of missiles and bombers and submarines at a cost of at least half a trillion, about $500 billion to replace this. that's something many deficit hawks aren't going to want to be part of. but the president so far has not slowed down any of these contracts. he hasn't revamped the u.s. nuclear posture. he hasn't told the military what we need these nuclear weapons for. the next few months will be the telling moment whether the president's agenda succeeds or fails. >> joe, on this subject, broadly, the nuclear thing everybody is freaked-out about right now is, of course, north korea threatening nuclear war and threatening war war on both south korea and on us and whoever else they can get in their sights. north korean bluster is hard to tell from north korean crazy. on the nuclear side of this specifically,

i think defense should be cut and i don't understand why liberals and the white house think it would be so much better to raise taxes on say rich people giving money to charity than to cut defense spending. but big thing for them is time dimension. the big problem with sequester is not necessarily the total amount of cuts over ten years but the amount of them to come in this next year and in the next two years. >> when you saw the job numbers come out today, did you feel that reflected what happened already with the sequester. would we see that this soon or is that likely explained by other things? >> i think if we're going to blame them on any government policy, i'm not sure we should yet, it would be the payroll tax hike that came a couple months ago. you saw retail jobs tank. i think we lost 24,000 of them last month. that's what we expect to see from payroll tax hike. sequester didn't hit that hard in march. it will hit much harder in april. but for the folks who are coming out seeing it wasn't the sequester, i put it this way, we don't know, maybe those numbers will prove out to
